Sometime ago Paul Daniels and other dealers were advertising his $200 magic and marketing course.
Does anyone have this? I'm curious to know if there was anything "new" in it, or was it just a repeat of what's been said here on the MAGIC Café and Dave Dee's course. Thanks, Gerry |

Have not seen it, but Elmwood Magic has it. Here is a link for more info.

Thanks Mark. Yes, I have seen the advertisement. What I'd really like is to hear from someone who actually bought this course.
Thanks, Gerry |

Gerry:
I don't have the full course, but I did get the highlights cd of his Master Class. I found it interesting, in so much that I knew very little about Daniels. The one thing that did stick with me was his discussion about business cards. Basically giving them out to anyone and everyone, because even though that person may not have a need for you, they might be associated with someone who does. It is a lot of that type of advise. He talks about getting booked into Vegas. Contacted a couple of agents in LA - they did nothing, so he goes to Vegas himself and knocks on a few doors, leaves some tape. Then says that he got a gig because the wife of a showroom manager saw his tape and liked him and so he got the booking. His whole philosophy (badly summed up by me) is get off of your b*tt and go do it. Addressing the fear of rejection, he says if you do nothing, then you are already rejected. What IF they say no? You weren't going to get the gig by doing nothing about it either! In the end, it seemed to be the same sort of "just do it" pep talk/coaching/philosophy that you would hear from any "Pro" talking about the business of show business. My 2¢ Chris |

Thanks Chris.
Yes, I too had the highlights tape. While I liked it, some of it sounded like Dave Dee's stuff. I guess that's why I never bought Daniels bigger course. Gerry |

I don't have Paul's course but I do have the DVD of the Masterclass hightlights. Since he is one of the most successful magicians out there, I wanted to hear (and watch, hence the DVD) what he had to say.
Of course, some it does overlap other marketing courses, but he also shares some brilliant ideas that I never would have thought of. His strategy for upselling a corporate client (which is applicable to other markets) is genius! Actually, I'd like to more about the course myself. Tell ya what: I don't know Paul, but I'll e-mail him. He's undoubtedly extremely busy but maybe I can get some details or even get him to drop by here and give us the scoop. See ya!

Contacting Paul will have to wait, gentlemen. His wife Debbie has posted on his blog that he is not well right now. Ah, well.

That's not good to hear at all. Hope it is not serious.

Apparently, it's primarily exhaustion brought on by overwork. I'll wait a couple of weeks and perhaps e-mail him then.

Thanks.
If the course has TONS of marketing information in it, I might buy it. I've just never been able to find out exactly what is in his course. Gerry |
